Perfect supplements

High quality supplements are SUPER important to me. A company with high standards is also really important- and I've found both things with Perfect Supplements. There are a few of their items that I am super grateful to have added into my wellness routine.

My favorite supplement from Perfect Supplements is their Beef Liver Capsules.
Getting animal organ meats into our diets are a HUGE part of overall good health. They are filled with trace minerals that our bodies need in order to function well. Sometimes eating raw or cooked organ meats is hard to do- so these capsules are my go to substitute. PS beef liver capsules are grass-fed, un-defatted beef liver in its purest form; non-defatted and is obtained solely from healthy, grass-fed cows.
Liver is also really high in the following vitamins & nutrients- zinc, iron, Vit K, Vit A, copper, B12, selenium & more.

The Health Benefits of Desiccated Liver:
-Nutrient Dense Source of High Quality Protein
-Boost Energy
-Boost the Immune System
-Boost Metabolism
-Improve Digestion
-Maintain Healthy Cholesterol
-Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar
-Maintain Cardiovascular Health

Another favorite supplement of mine is the Acerola Powder/Capsules. This is a whole food Vitamin C supplement.
The best way to get vitamins into our bodies is by eating the foods those vitamins naturally come in. While oranges are rich in Vitamin C, the tiny but mighty Acerola Cherry has anywhere from 50-125 times the vitamin C of oranges! This supplement is simply dried Acerola Cherries, it's also rich in numerous phytonutrients such as carotenoids and anthocyanins. Consuming your Vitamin C in this form helps your body break it down better because it has all the other nutrients from the cherries that it needs to use the Vitamin C.

Can’t my body just make Vitamin C? Unfortunately, if you are human, you just can’t make Vitamin C.
It’s a long story involving evolutionary mutations, but the key point - humans, unlike most animals, no longer have the ability to make their own Vitamin C. This means we need to get Vitamin C from our diet. In addition, since Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin, we can not store it in the body. Any Vitamin C we get from our diet is either used by our body or excreted – no storing it up for a rainy day :)

Gelatin is the other item I love. gelatin/collagen plays a huge role in your body's skin, joint, & gut health. That's one of the reasons bone broth is so good for you- it's packed full of gelatin/collagen! They are also both high in protein which makes for a great source of easily digestible animal protein/enegry. Collagen is a structural protein found in the hair, skin, bones, ligaments & muscles. It’s the most abundant protein in the body, rich in the anti-inflammatory amino acid glycine, collagen can improve stomach acid levels & heal internal tissues such as the gut lining

Collagen/Gelatin can also help with:
Liver detoxification
-Hormone regulation
-Wound healing
-Deeper sleep
-Better digestion
-Skin health
-Gut healing
-Muscle, joint & ligament health

What's the difference between collagen & gelatin? Gelatin will gel or thicken when chilled. This is the perfect choice to make super healthy gummy bears, fruit gelatin, marshmallows, custards, or anything else that needs to thicken or gel. Collagen dissolves in hot or cold liquids and is tasteless and does NOT thicken or gel. If you want to supercharge a glass of water or a smoothie, Collagen is the way to go. In addition, the fact that the collagen is hydrolyzed does make it easier for the body to absorb and process the protein.
